Little IS Much!

I trust all of my faithful blog readers out there have downhere's newest CD and therefore know that I just quoted the title to one of the songs on the album! I'm excited because I have my own Little Is Much story!

A WHILE back Glenn, Jonah and I visited some friends in the US. To thank them for hosting us, we brought some Canadian chocolate bars. We never forgot the enthusiasm with which they received the small token of our thanks. We learned a little about the art of receiving gifts in that moment. From time to time since then I've thought about sending them some in the mail. Since we brought some to TN with us when we came in August, and then Glenn's Mom sent more down, and with Halloween fast approaching, we really had no excuse. It was time! So I packed up some chocolate in a box, along with a note and one of Jonah's paintings, thinking it would at least bring a little cheer to our friends' hearts.

Before we knew it, Glenn had a phone message and an email from our friends, thanking us for the way in which we had deeply encouraged them, and assuring us that God had really used that little gesture in a big way. Wow! That's exciting! What little can you do today?

Little is much when God's in it
And no one can fathom the plans He holds
Little is much when God's in it
He changes the world with the seeds we sow
